Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant stirred controversy for his comments about Cassie after the verdict in the Sean “Diddy” Combs trial was announced.
Bryant, 36, took to social media on Wednesday, July 2, and responded to a post from CBS Sports reporter Ashley Nicole Moss, who wrote, “I couldn’t imagine how she feels this morning. it’s the very unfortunate reality of women who experience sexual violence – the story is just never enough.”
“I respect your opinions heavy but Cassie wasn’t no victim.. not even close,” Bryant wrote.
When Moss pointed out “we saw her beaten on camera,” Bryant added, “I was referring to the freak offs and drugs she chose to participate in.”
Cassie Breaks Silence After Diddy Found Not Guilty of Sex Trafficking
“Her getting beat was extremely unacceptable but a lot of you people gotta understand your wife of 15yrs will risk her family for a life style in Hollywood,” Bryant wrote in another post. “Accountability have to play its part somewhere.”
When one commenter called Bryant’s comments “sad,” the ex-NFL player continued his ranting.
“I’m not sad… diddy wrong and Cassie wrong,” Bryant wrote. “A lot of you women get weird whenever it’s time to take accountability for your actions..a sin is a sin neither is greater than the other.”
Bryant received major pushback for his comments, with one fan saying, “Dez you gotta stop so much talking bro.”
“Dez appreciate your football acumen,” a separate fan commented. “But you are a f***ing idiot here man did you not see videos of her being beaten??? Your view on women is what is wrong with society today.”
Another wrote, “Dez bro I love you but what are you on and why would you ever post this.”
Diddy, 55, was acquitted on charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking on Wednesday. The mogul was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
He faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. His sentencing date is currently scheduled for October 3.
Diddy pleaded not guilty to all charges leveled against him after his September 2024 arrest in New York City and has denied all of the allegations.
Multiple people accused Diddy of sexual assault and sex trafficking, beginning with his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, 38, who testified in May as a key witness for the prosecution.

Diddy’s arrest came nearly one year after Cassie filed a lawsuit accusing him of sexual and physical abuse throughout their relationship, which lasted off and on from 2007 to 2018. The mogul denied her claims in a statement shared by his attorney.
“Mr. Combs vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations,” Diddy’s lawyer Ben Brafman said at the time.
One day after the suit was filed, Diddy and Cassie settled out of court. In May 2024, CNN published a hotel surveillance video of Diddy kicking and grabbing Cassie in 2016. He later apologized for his actions in a video shared via Instagram.

Body positive influencer Clara Dao is reflecting on how her decision to get breast implants impacted her social media following.
“I fully expected I would be cancelled once I announced my boob job,” Dao, 26, told the New York Post on Tuesday, July 2. “I’ve lost a lot of followers – around 500,000 across all my platforms. Losing followers doesn’t come as a shock.”
She continued, “I built my following based on that one single message of loving your natural body, your flat chest, especially. A big part of my following followed me for that message.”
Dao amassed almost eight million followers on social media, frequently posting about her smaller chest and her journey to self-acceptance. Dao underwent the cosmetic procedure in March, costing her $3,398.56 — and admitted that the backlash from her following has been “pretty brutal.”
Stars Who Shared Exact Details on Their Breast Implants: Kylie Jenner, More
“Before, when I did flat chest content, most of the hate came from guys, saying you look like a guy, you look ugly, you’re like a piece of wood. Now my hate comes from women, saying you’re a hypocrite, you’re so fake. A lot of people won’t understand. I accept that I won’t be understood by most people, especially my fans,” she said. “The first video I made was about doing what you love. That’s the deeper message I want to spread with my content.”
Despite the reaction from some of her followers, Dao said her “immediate circle” had “positive” things to say because they knew she wanted “a change.”
“My family has always encouraged me to get the surgery since I was 17, since before I started making the content,” she explained. “There’s a cultural difference. In Asia, people are a lot more image-focused. They want you to show the best version of yourself, no flaws, especially online. When I first started social media and showed my flat chest, showed my imperfections, belly rolls, acne, skin texture, my family was against that for a very long time. But I never really listened to them.”
Dao, who went from a bra size 32AA to a 32C, said she’s “loving” her new look and doesn’t regret getting the implants.
From Alix Earle to Remi Bader: Influencers Aren’t Relatable Anymore
“I felt boxed into that content,” she said of having a smaller bra size. “People just knew me as ‘the flat-chested girl.’ As long as I had my flat chest, I could fall back on it and increase my subscribers, and things would just be the same.”
She continued, “Creatively, I feel boxed in; I don’t feel passionate about the content I did anymore. I don’t want that option anymore. I got the surgery because I was bored. I wanted to get out of the trap of making content about my flat chest. I had a lot of self-love and body positivity before, and I have a lot of self-love now.”
Dao admitted that the surgery was “pretty impulsive” as she began thinking about getting implants in February and underwent the procedure in Vietnam the following month. The influencer noted that she had “slight complications” with the surgery but is now on the road to recovery.
“The wound on my left side didn’t close for two, three weeks, so it took a bit longer to heal, but nothing major. The service here is very good. They checked the wound every day,” she explained. “It really hurt for the first three days. I’d need help getting up and down from the bed, and I couldn’t do certain movements with my arms. But after a month, you get back basically to normal.”

Sophia Bush revealed the ways One Tree Hill allegedly would try to get out of paying the female leads — including lying that the show was about to go off the air.
During the Thursday, July 3, episode of “The Burnouts” podcast, Bush, 42, was asked whether she had an opportunity to negotiate her salary, to which she replied, “We weren’t really given the opportunity to do that. They would always tell us we were on the verge of getting canceled so that we wouldn’t try.”
Bush credited her “wonderful legal” team for stepping in before season 4.
“They just said, ‘Listen, we know none of the girls are making what the boys are making. But you cannot pay her a third of what the woman making the least amount of money on the show is making,’” she noted. “They really went to bat for me.”
‘One Tree Hill’ Cast: Where Are They Now?
According to Bush, she was “finally” being “paid equally to the second-lowest paid woman on the cast” after the negotiations. “So under 20 percent of what my male costar was making on the show,” she added.
One Tree Hill, which aired from 2003 to 2012, was set in the fictional town of Tree Hill, North Carolina, and originally followed the lives of two half-brothers — played by Chad Michael Murray and James Lafferty — who compete for positions on their school’s basketball team.
Over the years, viewers got more invested in the brothers’ respective lives and romantic relationships, which allowed for their female costars, including Bush, Hilarie Burton Morgan and Bethany Joy Lenz, to have large roles on screen
“Part of the reason they like to make teen television is because they don’t really have to pay young people very much money. Because I had been an added character — even though I’d be a series regular,” Bush continued. “I was essentially told, ‘This is all we can afford to pay you. Take it or leave it. It’s never going to get any better than this.’”
Bush called it a “baptism by fire in the financial space,” adding, “You want to work so you say yes, but when you make money, 10 percent goes to your agent and 10 percent goes to your manager and 5 percent goes to your lawyer. Then you have to buy into your union and you have to figure out how to incorporate a business.”
While One Tree Hill was finding success on screen, Bush was struggling to make ends meet.
Aaron Paul Claims He Gets No ‘Breaking Bad’ Streaming Residuals: 'Pony Up'
“I threw cash at friends who had a 6th floor walk-up in the West Village. My two best friends from college moved into it and it was a two-bedroom apartment and I would sleep on the pullout couch on weekends when I’d fly up here,” she recalled. “People are like, ‘Oh my God, you’re the star of a TV show and there’s billboards everywhere.’ And you’re like, ‘I’m terrified about how I’m going to pay my rent.’”
Bush isn’t the only one to speak out about her OTH paycheck. Bevin Prince, who made regular appearances on the drama from season 1 to 4, opened up about how much she brought in.
“We were making $75 a day for 16-to 18-hour days. I was still in college and was still trying to finish my degree at the same time, which was really complicated for me,” Prince, 42, revealed to Bush and Burton during the “Drama Queens” podcast in December 2021. “Because we were displaced from Hollywood, I got to know you guys so well, and Soph, you especially were such a champion for me along the way with everybody. Then they started to let me do things.”
She added: “When I look back at it, I really can find things that I am incredibly proud of. I think one of the things that I am super proud of is my ability to show up and show up really hard. Like if somebody asked me to shake my pom-pom, I’m not going to shake it lightly. I took that $75-a-day job very seriously.”

While enjoying her last few moments in Greece on vacation with her husband, comedian Jeff Arcuri, former Bachelorette star Katie Thurston took to Instagram to share a life update.
In the three-minute long video, Thurston revealed she is preparing for a “big check-in scan” on July 7. The check-in is “to see how the meds are working with my tumor, the good news would be either no growth or even shrinkage.”
“We go home today, and oftentimes when I’m entering back into reality of cancer, that’s when things kind of start to hit,” Thurston explained. “When those monthly scans or appointments come and go, I allow myself the next 28 days to really forget that I have cancer.”
Thurston said being diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer has forced her to “shift” how she thinks. “My oncologist never told me how much time I have left, and I’ve never asked.”
“Stage 4 is a very scary mentality at times, because it is forever,” Thurston explained, adding that she continues to do her best to seek out all of the blessings in her life.
While sharing that her skin biopsies came back benign and that she and Jeff were upgraded during their stay in Greece, “a part of me was like, ‘Thank you. Thank you, God, Thank you universe for these blessings and everything you’ve given me today.’”
Katie Thurston Details 'Mentality' Going Into Stage 4 Cancer Treatment
“But there’s a small part of me that like feels like a dog before it dies, gets this, like, this big boost, you know,” Thurston shared as she grew emotional. “I’m not trying to even make this like a sad video. I’m just being honest that cancer is very much like a trained lifestyle at this point.”
The 34-year-old added that it is up to people to decide how they want to live their life and for Thurston, especially while vacationing in Greece, “I enjoyed wine. I enjoyed the sugars, you know, the desserts. I enjoyed the memories that I’m making. Because what’s the point of not living when you’re given today? You know, when you’re given life?”
“And that’s how I feel like every day, I’m just like, ‘Thank you.’ Every night I go to bed, I’m like, ‘Thank you for giving me today.’”
Katie Thurston Has ‘Moments’ She Feels Like She’s Dying Amid Cancer Battle
Thurston first announced she was diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2025. “Life update: I have breast cancer. Yesterday I saw all the couples post their Valentine’s Day celebrations. I felt envious if I’m being honest,” she said, at the time.
“Jeff took me to Hawaii and after, we were going to travel the world before planting roots together in NYC finally. But instead, my Vday was spent coordinating a place to live as I have to go back to LA for more testing and treatment.”

Jason Kelce fans, you have his wife, Kylie Kelce, to thank for that viral speedo moment at a charity event for the Eagles Autism Foundation on Wednesday, June 25.
Kylie, 33, admitted that it was her “feeding him donuts and buying baked goods” that contributed to Jason, 37, standing up on a chair and ripping off his shorts to reveal a red, white and blue speedo.
“I did know the speedo was happening because this bet has been in effect between Jason and [former Philadelphia Eagles teammate] Beau Allen for a very long time. I want to say three months that they have been on a weight loss journey,” Kylie revealed on the Thursday, July 3 episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast. “I know the penalty was to wear a speedo to the [Ocean Drive] event. I also know that I’ve been feeding him donuts and buying baked goods when appropriate. And was it a little bit of sabotage? No. If it was, Beau Allen, you owe me some money because you’re welcome.”
Jason first announced the bet during a March episode of his “New Heights” podcast, which he hosts with brother Travis Kelce.
Jason Kelce Hilariously Details Getting a Bikini Wax Before Wearing a Speedo
“Beau Allen reached out, and he said, ‘Hey, do you wanna do a competition on who can lose the most body fat percentage but still gain muscle?’” he said. “I don’t know, Beau wants to have some competition, so we agreed to get DXA scans.”
Jason then explained that the loser would have to wear a speedo at the Ocean Drive charity event. Kylie, for her part, was not present when Jason made his big reveal. She was feeding the couple’s 3-month-old daughter, Finnley , at the time. (The couple also shares daughters Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, and Bennett, 2.)
Kylie said she wasn’t there because she didn’t want to be part of the event’s introductions. She wasn’t aware that Jason would get up on a chair and rip his shorts off.
Jason Kelce Calls Embarrassing Wife Kylie 1 of His 'Great Joys'
“By the time I was coming back, I had received a text message of the behind angle and him proceeding to Magic Mike his shorts off,” she said. “I had not seen this move before. I don’t know if he practiced. If he did, it was with doors closed … Am I bitter about it? A little bit.”
She also acknowledged the irony of Jason’s viral moment happening just days after she asked fans to stop thirsting over her husband on social media. Kylie promises the timing was not intentional.
“I do think it’s comical that I just asked you guys to stop putting drool emojis under my husband and then he came out in a crop top and did breakaway shorts,” she said. “I do see that. I wasn’t trying to set you guys up for failure. It was a timely thing that I needed to address based on the thirst traps of my husband … then he just went on and continued to be sexy, I can’t help that.”

Aaron Rodgers has returned to social media after tying the knot.
In a Wednesday, July 2, Instagram post, Rodgers, 41, was all smiles while posing with fellow Pittsburgh Steelers teammates Scotty Miller, Ben Skowronek, Pat Freiermuth, Calvin Austin III, DeKaylin Metcalf and Roman Wilson. “Summerball,” Rodgers captioned the upload.
News broke in June that Rodgers agreed to a one-year contract with the NFL team after spending two seasons with the New York Jets.
In NFL legend Troy Aikman’s mind, he hopes that Rodgers is able to “recapture some of his form” with the Steelers in the fall. (Rodgers tore his Achilles in his first game with the Jets in 2023.)
Why Aaron Rodgers' 1st Picture as a Steeler Is Sparking Engagement Rumors
“I think it’s a good fit, actually,” Aikman, 58, told Us Weekly in a cover story.
ESPN reported that Rodgers visited the Steelers’ practice facility in March but remained tight-lipped about his future plans.
“I wasn’t stringing anyone along,” Rodgers said during an April appearance on ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show. “I wasn’t holding anyone hostage. I was honest from the jump about where I was at mentally and some of the constraints I have in my life right now that warrant my attention.”
Rodgers continued, “I’m open to anything and attached to nothing. Retirement could still be a possibility, but right now my focus has been — and will continue to be — on my personal life. And that’s what I’ve told the coaches. There’s still conversations that are being had. It’s all been very honest lines of communication.”
Aaron Rodgers Reveals He Got Married ‘A Couple Months Ago’
The same month Rodgers joined the Steelers, he revealed he secretly exchanged vows when asked about a black band on his left finger during a meeting with reporters at Steelers minicamp.
“It’s a wedding ring,” he said while sharing that he exchanged vows a “couple months ago.”
Rodgers did not reveal the identity of his partner at the time. He announced in April that he was in a “serious relationship” while appearing on The Pat McAfee Show.
“I have off-the-field stuff going on that requires my attention,” he said at the time. “I have personal commitments not knowing what my future was going to look like after last year that are important to me.”
Rodgers added, “I have a lot of things that are taking my attention and have, beginning in January, away from football. That’s been where I’ve been focusing most of my attention.”

Dua Lipa continues her reign as the star with the best bikini style.
Lipa, 29, took to Instagram on Wednesday, July 2, to show off her toned figure in a sexy bikini during an Italian getaway. While soaking up the sun on an orange-and-white striped towel, Lipa posed in a polka dot set. The black-and-white With Jéan design featured a dark triangle top ($79) adorned with white spots and lace lining. The piece was finished with halter top straps and she tied it just tight enough to expose her underboob.
The singer teamed the look with matching bottoms ($69) finished with the same lace details, razor thin straps that tied in bows on her hips and a thong back.
Lipa beamed for the camera while relaxing on the beach and accessorized with black oval shades.
Dua Lipa Flaunts Her Figure in a Sexy Bikini and Hints at Her Bridal Style
The “Levitating” singer opted for an au naturel look, showing off her glowing skin and sun kissed cheeks. She wore her brunette hair down and pushed back.
Elsewhere in the social media post, Lipa shared moments of her time in Italy, including an oyster meal, an Aperol spritz — which was accompanied by a black cat — and adorable selfies of her and her fiancé, Callum Turner.
In the pic, Lipa rocked a white tank top finished with a scoop neck. She added a bit of glam to her look with a statement silver bracelet and brown sunglasses.
Turner, 35, for his part, looked his best in a green-and-white textured polo top and camel khaki bottoms. He finished his getup with brown sunglasses and a black watch.
“Italian weekend 
,” Lipa captioned the post. Her celebrity friends and fans were quick to compliment her in the comments section.
“Ohhhh my heart,” Dove Cameron wrote. Influencer Maya Borsali added, “BEBEEEEE,” while more fans commented fire emojis.

Through the years, Lipa has shared countless bikini moments. In May, she showed off a brown bikini, also by With Jéan, while tanning on a lounge chair. The set was finished with subtle spots and delicate lace-up details. She styled the number with cherry red eye lasses and large gold hoop earrings.
One month prior, Lipa sizzled in a fiery Topic of C two-piece equipped with a classic triangle top and coordinating bottoms with bows on her hips. Also in April, she shared a sweet pic of her and Turner holding hands in their swimsuits. Lipa stunned in a cheeky blue swimsuit while Turner opted for black shorts.

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi can’t imagine what her life would look like if she wasn’t adopted.
In Us Weekly’s exclusive sneak peek of the Thursday, July 3, episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, the cast comes together and reflects on their costar’s emotional adoption journey that led to her connecting with her birth mom.
“All she said was, ‘Are you angry with me?’ and she was crying,” Snooki, 37, tells the cast of her last conversation with the woman who placed her for adoption. “She said, ‘Thank you for understanding. I love you so much.’ I said I have an amazing life. I have three kids now.”
In a confessional interview, Snooki began to consider how different her life would be if she had stayed in Chile with her birth mom and never made it to New Jersey.
Jersey Shore's Snooki Learns Why She Was Placed for Adoption as a Baby
“I always thought if I grew up in Chile and stayed there, obviously I wouldn’t be with [my husband] Jionni,” she says. “I wouldn’t have my kids. I probably would have never moved to Jersey. I love my life.”
In the emotional scene, several cast members praised Snooki’s birth mom for giving her daughter the opportunity to thrive with her adoptive parents.
“What she did, it afforded you to have the opportunities and the family and the life,” Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino says in the clip, “which is beautiful.”
Jenni “JWoww” Farley adds, “How would you have grown up if you were in Chile? There would be no Snooki. Can you believe that? The world wouldn’t have a Snooki. That would be awful.”
A montage of clips began to play, which featured some of Snooki’s most memorable moments on Jersey Shore. The show premiered in December 2009 and continues to be a major hit for MTV.
On Thursday’s episode, Angelina Pivarnick learns about her costar’s milestone for the first time.
While Snooki said she didn’t want to “bother” Angelina, 39, with the developments as she worked on herself, she quickly filled her in with the latest.
“It was very dramatic,” Snooki says, before sharing a photo of her birth mom. “She doesn’t know it’s Snooki.”
Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi Shares Secret to Marriage: We Have a ‘Smush Room’
In a confessional interview, Angelina — who previously discovered that the man she believed to be her biological father was not actually her father — said she was interested in learning more about her friend’s experience.
“I’m just so intrigued by her whole story because at the end of the day, my circumstances did not go well,” she says. “But for Nicole, I really hope it’s a different outcome.”

Days before soccer star Diogo Jota died in a car accident, his wife was reflecting on their magical wedding.
